TRX was originally launched on the Ethereum blockchain back in 2017, before switching to its own platform.
It is a decentralized peer-to-peer system that aims to decentralize the Internet.
Its original currency is known by different names; TRON, Tronix, or TRX coin, which acts as the basic unit of accounts within the blockchain.
Essentially, the TRON ecosystem acts as a content sharing platform.
Users who create or share content are rewarded with Tron currency, resulting in a monetization system that is fairer and more transparent than those operating traditional social media networks.
